Photograph of a seated figure in a pink-and-white statue-like form wearing a pink turban, a garland of yellow and white flowers, and a rudraksha-style mala, positioned on a woven mat-covered platform under a corrugated roof. Before it stands a brass plate with lamps, flowers and small vessels, and an oil lamp burns on a white-draped table. Several people in saffron and white clothing stand and sit around, one adult with hands folded in prayer on the right and a child bowing with head down near the platform, while another person reaches forward to touch the figure. Appears to be a puja or aarti at a figure depiction, not a living person.
